Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2024
For over a decade I struggled with increasing hip pain and immobility. I was eating pain killers and anti-inflammatories like candy and was unable to walk to the mailbox and back. June 6th Dr Puttler performed an anterior full hip replacement. Following Dr. Puttler’s medicine regime, there was much less pain than I expected the first few days after surgery and I was able to walk with a walker without pain. I did not need the walker ten days after surgery and within a week I didn’t need a cane. PT went well and I was released from PT by the end of August. I realized mid-September that I had forgotten about all the issues I had experienced with my hip and everything felt completely normal. I am so grateful for Dr. Puttler’s skill and heart.
